HYDROCARB ON-B URNER.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN WV. BEARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

The device forming the, subject matter of this application is adapted to be employed for converting liquid fuel, such as kerosene oil, into gas.

The invention aims to of this sort in which there will be no pufling or thumping, owing to the peculiar disposition of certain pipes which form parts of the oil conduits.

Another object of the invention is to provide a structure of this sort which may be assembled at a minimum expenditure of labor, the num er of couplings being reduced.

A further object of the invention is to improve the construction of the combined deflectors and generators, so as to facilitate the assembling of the structure.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of'devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.

lVith the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described claimed, it being understood that c anges in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings :Figure 1 shows the invention in perspective; Fig. 2 is a cross section showing one or" the combined deflectors and generators; and Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

In carrying out the present invention there is provided a vertical oil supply pipe 1 connected with one branch of a cross 2. Assembled with the lateral branches of the provide a structure plane, the pipes 5 at their upper ends carrying valve casings 6 and 7. he casings 6 and 7 are equipped with horizontally disposed hand valves 8. Assembled with the vertical, upwardly projecting branch of the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed April 20, 1916.

Patented Dec, 2'3, 31916,. Serial No. 92,506.

cross 2 is a nipple 9 carrying a casing 10 provided with a vertical hand valve 11. As

the valve caswardly extended pipe sections and 1 6, 16 being disposed to the horizontal.

and 18. Connected w th the elbow 18 is a horizontal T ro ecting from the T 19 is a horizontal pipe 20. The pipe 20 is provided at its rear end with an elbow 21, and projecting from the elbow 21 at right angles to the pipe 29 is a pipe 22. One end of the pipe 22 is equipped wit an elbow23 end of the burner tube 24 is closed by a cap 25. Intermediate the cap 25 and the elbow 23, the b 'is supplied with a discharges laterally. Pro ecting laterally from the T 19 and a common plane with the pipes 20 and 22 1s a pipe 27 provided with an elbow 28 carrying a urner tube 29 having a burner orifice 30, and closed at one end by The burner tubes 29 and 24 proect lIl OPPOSltG directions, and preferably are alined axially.

he numeral 32 designates a combined deflector and generator, preferably of circular contour, and equipped with an internal chamber 33. he top 34 of the deflector and epending smooth opening 36 of Slh tore the pipe is into the T 19. At the ends of the opening 36, collars 38 are formed. There is provided a short tube 37 at right angles to the pipe 27, whereby communication is established between the elbow 17 and the chamber 33. Projecting from the deflector and guard 32 in axial alinement with the tube 37 is a short pipe section 39 connected with an elbow 40 carrying a vertical, depending pipe 41 assembled with an elbow 42 carrying a horizontal burner tube l3 located below the deflector and generator 32. The burner tube l3 is closed at one end by a cap 4.4 and intermediate its ends is provided with a burner orifice 45 disposed below the geometrical Projecting center of the deflector and guard 32. The burner orifice 15 discharges upwardly against the lower surface of the member 32.

The numeral 16 designates a priming pan 5 having end walls a7 provided with openings 18 whereby the priming pan may be suspended from the burner tube 13, it being possible to mount the priming pan on the tube %3 by removing the cap 41%.

from one end of the valve casing 6 is a pipe 19 having an upwardly inclined extension 50 disposed at an angle of 15 to the horizontal, the extension 50 corresponding to the pipes 15 and 16, the pipe 49 being long enough so that its extension 50 is disposed rearwardly of the deflector and generator 32. The extension 50 of the pipe 49 is connected as shown at 51 to a combined deflector and generator '52,

'2 being noted at this point. The pipe 22 passes slidably through the deflector and generator 52, in the same way that the pipe 27 passes through the deflector and generator 32. Connected with the member 52 is a short pipe section 53, corresponding to the short pipe section 39. On the short pipe section 53 is an elbow 5 1 united with a depending pipe 55, corresponding to the pipe 11 and in a common vertical plane therewith. The pipe 55 is connected to an elbow 56 carrying a burner pipe 5'? closed at one end by a cap 58, the pipe 57 having a burner orifice 59 disposed directly below the geometrical a center of the deflector and generator 52.

priming pan 60 is suspended from the burner pipe 57, in the manner hereinbefore set forth.

One of the advantages of the present structure rises out of the ease with which it may be assembled. All of the parts may be set up complete with the exception 0 the pipes 27 and 22. These pipes may then be slid, respectively, through the openings in .the generators 32 and 52 and be threaded, respectively, into the T 19 and the elbow 21. It is therefore unnecessary to place couplings or unions in the pipes 15 and 20, and the danger of leakage is reduced to a minimum.

.Oil enters the structure by way of the pipe 1 and flows by way of the pipe 15 and the pipe 27 to the burner tube 29. Oil also flows by way of the pipes 9 and 16 to the chamber 33 of the generator 32,the fluid passing thence by way of the pipes 39 and 41 to the burner tube 43. The flame burning at the orifice a5 heats the generator 32, an consequently, the oil is converted into gas before it passes to the burner tube 13 or to the burner tube 29. The flame at the burner orifice 15 is deflected by the member 32 and rises to heat pots, etc., on the lid-holes of a range. The flame at the burner orifice 30 F flows laterally and may be employed for interior chamber of the constructed like a tie member 32, the parts 37 and 17 of Fig.

heating an oven, the structure being of peculiar utility and used in connection with a cooking range.

Oil from the pipe 15 passes by way of the pipe 20 and the pipe 22 to the burner tube 2 1. From the pipe 5, oil enters the pipe as and passes through the extension 50 into the generator 52, and thence passes to the burner tube 57 by way of the pipes 53 and 55. The operationcarried out adjacent the generator 52 is the same as that carried out adjacent the generator 32. r

Especial attention is directed to the fact that the pipes 15, 16 and 50 are inclined at an angle of approximately a5 to zontal, and do not stand vertically. Owing to this construction, the burners will operate without puffing and pounding. The oil in the pipes 15, 16 and 19 is'agitated to a considerable extent, and it has been found that when elements corresponding to the pipes15, 16 and 50 stand vertically, a burner of this type will operate with a puffing, poundingand jarring action, which is not present n the structure forming the subject matter of this application.

There is advantage in disposing the burner tubes 24L and 29 transversely of the pipes 22 and 27 respectively, and in placing t e burner orifices 26 and 30 intermediate the ends of the burner tubes. Owing to this construction, the tubes 2 1 and 29 may "be cleaned out readily, and there is room at the ends of the burner tubes for accumulating sediment from the fuel.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a device of the class described, a generator comprising a chamber and including a top having a depending r'b provided with a smooth opening therethrough; a first fuel pipe located in advance of the generator and opening into the chamber; a U-shaped pipe located opposite to the first pipe and opening into the chamber, theQU-shaped pipe including a burner tube disposed below the generator and having a combustion orifice located below the generator; a second fuel pipe located to one side of the generator and disposed approximatelyparallelto the first pipe; a crosspipe slidable freely through the smooth opening'in the generator and detach ably assembled atone end with the said second fuel pipe; a transverse burner tube at the other end of the cross pipe and provided with a burner orifice; and means for supplyd ing fuel to the first and second pipes.

described, a genchamber and including a top having a depending rib provided with a smooth opening therethrough; a first fuel pipe located in advance of the generator and opening into the chamber; a U-shaped pipe located opposite to the first pipe and open- 2. In a device of the class erator comprising a the hori- Copies of this patent may be obtained plying fuel to the first and second pipes, the first and second pipes being upwardly inclined, at an angle of approximately 45, from said means toward the generator.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto afiixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
